Trade is the exchange of financial securities and products for cash. The trade life cycle involves several steps from initiating the trade through settlement. It includes: (1) trade initiation and execution by placing an order on an exchange, (2) trade capture by internally booking the trade, (3) trade validation and enrichment by verifying trade details, and (4) trade confirmation and settlement by exchanging cash for securities on the settlement date. Reconciliation also matches ledgers to ensure correct accounting of all trades.

steps involved in a trade, from the point of order receipt (where relevant) and trade execution through to settlement of the trade, are commonly
